The professional services selection process is governed by the State of Illinois Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) Act. This Act requires state agencies to publicly announce all requirements for architectural, engineering, and land­-surveying services, to procure these services on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications, to negotiate contracts at fair and reasonable prices, evaluate the performance of firms, and authorize the Department of Professional Regulation to enforce the provisions of this Act. To view this Act or any of the forms and documents referenced in this policy, please go to the University Office of Capital Programs & Real Estate Services (UOCP&RES) website page, http://www.uocpres.uillinois.edu/architects/policies
